In the spring of 1830 Congress had passed the Indian Removal Act, and on May 28 of that year President Andrew Jackson signed the bill into law. The act gave the president the authority to negotiate "removal" treaties with all of the Indian tribes east of the Mississippi River. Under these agreements, each tribe would surrender its homeland in the East and relocate within a stated period of time to a territory west of that great waterway.
